"basquiat on my kitchen counter go ahead blue lean on it u own it."

swagging out blue ivy

It's really Jay's subtle irreverence as illustrated by that line that keeps Jay barely listenable and relevant.

He's mildly iconoclastic, and I like that, but it stems more from his arrogance and abounding self-centeredness than anything.

"..spent all my euros on tuxes and weird clothes...I party with weirdos"

Everyone who quotes that never finishes the thought, which I think is the gem of it...

It provides just a tad bit of insight into his life these days as well as his inner characterizations of the folks he's rubbing elbows with

... additionally it's a snapshot of the life of a mogul from the streets trying to adapt to an unfamiliar landscape.

As your bread leavens, the more weirdos you'll encounter and feel compelled entertain.


This is album is not bad. Better than WTT and BP3.

Some gems here and there.

Production carried it. It's about that time, Jay. This could be a decent closing act.

For a long time, Jay's artistry has been similar to Pei Wei... high end fast food, that mascarades as more than it really is. It has this alluring, deceptive quality to it that grabs people, but it's really just another repackaged, recycled concept...just boxed in a shinier, updated vessel.

You front row every where you in the H.O.V's
Jordan 1's and dungarees
And that's just the half of my warpath
Make a million another million let my niccas make a million
'til we all check a billion shyt it's just the way I'm feeling
We have yet to see a ceiling we just top what we top
Cause the bars don't struggle and the struggle don't stop

Slick, concise, clever social commentary and insight about social engineering/conditioning via formal grade school education gives way to braggadocio that illustrates the fruits of his non-traditional rise to power.

Everything in Jay-Z Blue is a quotable lol Listen to that shyt back

On Holy Grail "Bright lights is enticing, look at what it did to Tyson, all that money in one night, 30 mill for one fight, as soon as all that money blows, all the pigeons take flight"

If you know Tyson's love of pigeons and taking care of pigeons...

It's more than this but Hov really did his thing on this album

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Then he said:

Meanwhile this heretic I be out in Marrakesh
Morocco smoking hashish with my fellowship

He calls himself a herectic, someone who doesn't prescribe to any organized religious doctrine. But Marrakesh is a sacred islamic city out in Morocco. To go deeper, the Moors (black muslims) were the original inhabitants of Morocco. When he says fellowship, yes it means a collective group, but due to the theme of those previous lines, it could be a double entendre alluding to the sacred moorish shriners. The shriners were an exclusive fellowship who would often rock the Fez that symbolized you being an high evolved person with supreme wisdom. Some may not see the connection, but that's what I got from those lines.

now u see what I was getting at

It is somewhat sublime....to the unenlightened the term heretic and sacred seem to contradict each other...

but any true "traveler" knows of the Marrubutin Rite (degree) which is based on a Sufi Fellowship Order which practices a ritual which is deemed a heresy (heretic) ...and rather controversial because it comes from a time in Morroco and N. Africa which was PRE-ISLAMIC (pagan..anti-religious) which is where the Shrinedom and bulk of freemasonry as well as Moorish Science draws it's "light" (knowledge) from.

the Bektashi Sufis who saw themselves as living Gods in a dualistic world ...much like Jay-z whom fashions himself as Jehovah..

This (morocco) is refrenced in the sacred European document known as th FAMA (the confession) which was pubished during the Middle Ages aka Dark Ages (when moors ruled Europe) ...which tells the story of a Caucasian traveler named Christian Rosencruz who takes an allegorical journey to the "east" and passes thru Morroco and is intrigued by what he comes across during his documentation:

After he sailed for Egypt, where he continued his studies, and having traveled the Mediterranean, he at lenghth arrived at Fez , holy city of Morocco that was during the Middle Ages one of the most famous Centers of the Alchemic Arts . There he was instructed concerning the creatures existing in the elements.

From Fez he crossed over into Spain carrying with him many rare medicines, curious animals, and wonderful books
Fama Fraternitatis

It is also to be noted that Christian Rozencruz is the "legendary" founder of the Rosicrucians aka Rose & Cross society which not only contributed to the 18th degree known as the Rose Croix of the Scottish Rite order of freemasonry...but set the foundation of freemasonry as a whole from a symbolic perspective with it's indoctrination of Knight Templer precepts, Deist principles and Moorish Dogma.

The irony of the whole situation is that the document known as the MAGNA CARTA contained a significant article that still stands to this day respecting the soverighnty of the "Corporate" CITY OF LONDON (not regular London England) which is the home of the banking community of the west and served as the financial and administrative home of the Knight Templers prior to their acquisition of their properties under the "crown" (royalty of England)....

in laymen terms ..the Magna Carta which was a statement of soverignety (liberty) by a group of Nobleman is parallel to the soverigen claims made by not only FAMA confessional by the Rosicrucian Fellowship but the Moorish Nobles as well in the Barbary states (N. Africa) which according to another article of the MAGNA CARTA states that "That no freeman should be deprived of life, liberty or property, except by the legal judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."

I'm assuming that Jay-Z is subliminally refrencing his former business partners LIVE NATION and others whom had him in that rather oppressive 360 deal which entitled them to equity within the 40/40 brand, his MASTERS.....ROCAWEAR as well as the Nets that he would no longer SACRFICE his property or assets for that "measly 250 mill" they were offering him ....when he felt his SOVERIGNTY (liberty) effort to be TOTALLY INDEPENDENT was WORTH MORE

just speculating...but you know that's what us craftsmen do ..
